Abstract

Various composites containing glucose are widely used in cement production. Glucose-containing materials are widely used in the production of various types of cements due to their advantageous properties such as being light, economical and easily accessible. In this study, radiation shielding parameters of C8H13O5N (chitin) mixture with Pb doped at various percentages (5, 10, 20%) such as linear attenuation coefficients (LAC), mass attenuation coefficients (MAC), half value layers (HVL), tenth value layers (TVL), mean free path (MFP), effective atomic number (Zeff), electron density (Neff) and effective conductivity energy (Ceff) parameters have been investigated by using Phy-X software between 1 keV to 40 MeV energy range, theoretically. It has been seen that the results obtained are effective in gamma-ray shielding and are also compatible with the literature.
